Run Forest Run!!!

I've been running.... Yeah, that's right. Me, the non-runner...is training for a 5K! I know I posted about this resolution in my last entry but I have to say that I'm quite proud of myself. (Bare with me as I have a little selfish moment) I have started my 2nd week of training and I feel so great! I went to Weight Watchers last night and lost 1.8 pounds. It's not the huge loss I was hoping to see on the scale but I am HAPPY! My girlfriends and I have been so faithful to our training regimen and it's so encouraging. Don't get me wrong, this running thing is HARD! There are times when I feel like my knees or chest could explode at any minute. AAHHH And to top it off I am pushing close to 100 pounds between the weight of the stroller and my 2 girls! Fun times! But, you know what...I'm doing it and so are my gal pals M & S! My new moto is "No one is going to do it for you!" So, I get the girls dressed - coats, hats, mittens, blankets, stroller, sippy cups, snack and we are out the door. My kids have been such troopers! For the first 4 days they endured the cold and wind and for the most part were pretty okay with it. Today I received my plastic rain/wind cover for the stroller and I feel so much better that they don't have the cold wind in their face. Riley freaked out a little bit with it on but I think it was more because she was tired - I had to wake her from her nap this afternoon...there is no rest for the weary around here! So, I'll update again next week. Hopefully I'll have bigger numbers on the scale!
